The second round of U.S.-Iran nuclear talks wrapped up in Geneva this week, but neither side has revealed whether progress was made 🤐. Mediated by Oman’s Foreign Minister, the closed-door negotiations come as tensions flare over sanctions, military drills, and a looming U.S. warship deployment.
‘Open Mind, Open Eyes’ 👀
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei told state media the delegation arrived with ‘good faith’ and is ready to stay ‘a few weeks’ to finalize a deal. ‘Lifting sanctions is non-negotiable,’ he stressed, while U.S. President Donald Trump warned of ‘consequences’ if talks fail.
Military Moves Raise Stakes ⚔️
As diplomacy continues, the U.S. reportedly sent the USS Gerald R. Ford—the world’s largest warship—toward the Middle East, set to arrive within three weeks. Iran, meanwhile, conducted drills in the Strait of Hormuz, temporarily closing parts of the critical waterway 🚢💥.
What’s Next? 🕒
This round follows February 6 talks in Muscat that both sides called a ‘good start.’ With gaps still wide on sanctions and nuclear limits, the clock is ticking for a breakthrough. Stay tuned for updates as global eyes remain glued to Geneva 🌐🔍.
